1) To refrain from engaging in a battle of wits with the obviously unarmed. 1a) Properly identifying the unarmed 2) To know how to do something.. and to watch someone doing it wrong, and to refrain from comment. 2a)Being sure they are doing it wrong, and not just differently than you. 3)Being able to separate your rationality from your personality. (perhaps one of the hardest) ("if the shoe fits...") 4)Being able to clearly understand and explain your opponent's point of view before criticizing and/or debating him. 4a)Making the effort to even bother with understanding him. Of course there are other difficult things... but you see where my mind was today.
